In my opinion the most
stressful thing about being an oncology nurse is finding out that patients are
terminal with no chance of recovery. It's very sad especially when you have to
be in the room to break the news or list their options knowing there is no
quality of life and they will likely be suffering their last days before
entering hospice care if they wish to enter hospice care. They sometimes think
they have early stage cancer, and it turns out to be so advanced sometimes the
doctors don't even pursue either treatment and they enter into hospice care.
It's a sad thing to watch and very very stressful.
